Hi there, I am trying to create an online code editor. I want it to have fully supported code highlighting as well. I guess this highlighting will have to be done in javascript. Does anyone have any hints, helps or ideas they can give me? Thanks,
I would recommend looking at some of the editors already out there, and have a practice at highlighting the syntax. Get used to the syntax of the most common languages you'll be using the editor for, and ensure your grasp of programming is at a level where you can successfully complete your project. Ensure you plan it well, I like to plan my stuff out on paper first to ensure I can code in bits I'll need without missing any bits, since I don't like having to stuff additional bits of code in here and there if I miss anything important. The most important thing in that is to take a look at competetive sites, and then make yours unique, or make it stand out. Good luck
